History
The first year it was published, the paper was known as the Grant's Pass Courier.[4] From 1886 until 1919, it was named the Rogue River Courier.[4] The name was changed again to Grants Pass Daily Courier to avoid confusion after the town of Woodville changed its name to Rogue River.[4] The Courier is the second-oldest continuously published newspaper in Southern Oregon (after the Ashland Daily Tidings).[4][5] When the Courier became a daily in 1910, Grants Pass was the smallest city in the world to have leased wire service from the United Press.[5]
